昨日金塊以140-127戰勝雷霆拿下勝利,而Nikola Jokic本場比賽初賽39分鐘,20投15中,其中三分球2投1中,罰球5投4中,攻下35分、18籃板、8助攻、1抄截、1阻攻。
談到這場背靠背繼續出戰的決定,Nikola Jokic則在採訪中說道:「如果我今天不打的話,體能教練安排的訓練內容會比背靠背第二場打40分鐘還累。」
而賽後記者Vinny Benedetto向體能教練Felipe Eichenberger求證此事,而Eichenberger教練則表示Jokic所言不虛。
Jokic said if he didn’t play strength coach Felipe Eichenberger would’ve put him through a workout that would’ve been harder than playing 40 minutes on the second night of a back to back. Felipe told me that’s accurate. https://t.co/XV8nLVn9dY
